Gear Compared: USA vs PAKISTAN Soldier

Описание: Two infantrymen, the same year, two very different armies. One carries the gear of the biggest military budget on Earth. The other carries German rifles built under licence, Chinese missiles, a few American weapons from an old alliance, and more and more equipment made at home.

Item by item, we compare what an American rifleman and a Pakistani soldier take into the field in 2026: rifles, optics, grenade launchers, machine guns, pistols, marksman rifles, anti-tank weapons, helmets, body armor, the load, night vision, first aid, uniforms, the cold of the Siachen Glacier, rations, drones, training and special forces.
